I am certain that teenagers have the same attention span as a goldfish, but having said that my teenage daughter (nearly 18) has spent hours engrossed in my book, ignoring everything else around her. This is quite an achievement and it's brought me great joy to be able to talk about the characters with her and discuss what she thinks and to have her try and pry the information out of me as to what will happen in the end. She says the book is awesome, which some of you (myself included) would attribute to a bias as I'm her mum, but the fact she has been spending hours sitting at the table reading speaks volumes to me. One very happy mum and Author :)
